Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the protection scope of the utility model.

[0020] As Figure 1 shown, the embodiment discloses an image acquisition device 8, comprising a shell and a handle 1, the handle 1 is arranged above the shell;

[0021] The shell comprises a camera, a camera base 3, a battery 6 and a switch 5, the camera comprises a body 2 and a lens 4, the lens 4 is connected with the body 2, and the lens 4 is detachable, and the lens 4 protrudes from the shell;

[0022] The camera base 3 is arranged on one side of the shell, and the body is arranged on the camera base 3;

[0023] The battery 6 is arranged in the shell and is electrically connected with the body 2;

[0024] The switch 5 is arranged in the shell and is electrically connected with the body 2.

[0025] In the embodiment, the handle 1 is arranged above the shell, which facilitates the installation of the image acquisition device 8 below a tripod or other mounting position; the camera base 3 is used for fixing the position of the body 2 in the shell, so as to ensure the stability of the body 2; because the imaging distance is different due to different mounting points or different bridge lengths, the detachable lens 4 enables the person skilled in the art to replace the lens 4 according to the actual situation, so that a clear image can be obtained.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the image acquisition device 8 further comprises a data transmission interface 7, the data transmission interface 7 is arranged on the surface of the shell, and the data transmission interface 7 is electrically connected with the body 2; the data transmission interface 7 is used for transmitting the image data collected by the camera to a computer.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the image acquisition device 8 further comprises a laser ranging device (not shown in the figure), the laser ranging device is arranged in the shell and is arranged on the same side as the camera, the direction of laser emission of the laser ranging device is consistent with the direction of the lens, and the laser ranging device is electrically connected with the switch 5; the laser ranging device is used for obtaining the distance between the image acquisition device 8 and the image at the same time of collecting the image.

[0028] As Figure 2 shown, the utility model discloses a bridge multi-point deflection measuring device 11, comprising:

[0029] The above-mentioned image acquisition device 8, adjusting base 9 and tripod 10, adjusting base 9 and tripod 10 fixed connection, image acquisition device 8 sets up on adjusting base 9.

[0030] The adjustment base 9 is fixedly connected with the tripod 10 in this embodiment, so that the image acquisition device 8 can be detachably arranged on the adjustment base 8 by means of buckles, buttons, screw holes, limiting grooves or the like, so that the tripod 10 can be replaced in some scenes in which the tripod 10 is not applicable, or the image acquisition device 8 can be replaced for use when the image acquisition device 8 is faulty.

[0031] The following is the measurement principle of this embodiment (all data below are for illustration only and do not limit specific parameters) :

[0032] First, the embodiment is installed at the starting point or the end point of the bridge, and then the image acquisition device 8 collects the image in the field of view and transmits the image to the computer through the data line, and then the user selects the deflection measurement marker point in the image in the image window, measures the actual distance from the marker point to the image acquisition device 8 (obtained by the laser ranging device), and annotates the distance of the marker point. According to the formula and the lens formula, the linear relationship between the camera focal length and the imaging distance is obtained, and the following formula is obtained: 1 / f = 1 / s + 1 / i. Wherein, f represents the focal length, s represents the object distance, and i represents the imaging distance. As can be seen from the above formula, when the object distance s is infinite (i.e. the light is approximately parallel light), the imaging distance i is equal to the focal length f. In this case, the imaging surface is usually called an infinite plane or a back focal plane. For general cases, the imaging distance i will change with the change of the object distance s.

[0033] The selection of the marker point is generally the center point of the area with light and dark differences, and a single gray value point cannot be selected as the marker point. The related algorithm selects a 49*49 pixel matrix block centered on the marker point, and the size of the matrix block can be set according to the parameters, but the horizontal and vertical directions should be an odd number of pixels (generally 49*49). The average gray gradient in the matrix block reflects the judgment standard of the actual movement trend of the object. The average gray gradient is defined as follows: Wherein, w and h are the width and height of the pixel matrix block in the image; is the square root of the gray gradient of the pixel point in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction.

[0034] However, in actual situations, as shown in Figure 3 , the image collected by the image acquisition device 8 will be deformed due to the angle; the image before deformation is called “reference image”, and the deformed image is called “deformed image”. The displacement information of the measurement points is directly obtained by analyzing and processing the digital images of the measured object surface before and after deformation. As shown in Figure 4As shown, in the reference image, a 49*49 pixel size reference pixel rectangular block centered on the marker point (x, y), in the deformed image, by searching for the pixel rectangular block centered on (x', y') with the global extreme value of the correlation coefficient of the reference pixel rectangular block, to determine the displacement u, v of the reference pixel rectangular block. This embodiment can track the sub-pixel accuracy of the image plane displacement of the pixel points in the "deformed matrix block" in the "reference matrix block", and the obtained image plane displacement can be further converted into the real object plane displacement. In a two-dimensional digital image correlation measurement system, the digital camera pixel size p, the sensor size s, and the lens focal length f are fixed parameters. According to the vertical elevation angle α, the horizontal angle β, the imaging position (x, y) of the measured point in the image, and the actual distance d of the measured point from the measurement system, the scale factor of the marker point on the image plane and the object plane can be calculated:

[0035] K(X,Y)=k(p,s,f,α,β,(x,y),d)Under this condition, the image plane displacement [u(x,y), v(x,y)] obtained by the digital image correlation method is obviously linearly proportional to the displacement [U(X,Y), V(X,Y)] of the object surface:

[0036] u(x,y)=KU(X,Y),v(x,y)=KV(X,Y)In the deformed image, by searching and calculating according to the correlation function, the displacement of the marker point is calculated by searching for the rectangular region centered on (x', y') with the maximum correlation coefficient C of the template. Finally, the deflection data of the bridge is calculated by the above formula.

[0037] The bridge multi-point deflection measurement device 11 disclosed in this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:

[0038] 1. Improve the measurement accuracy and reliability, can accurately measure the dynamic deflection of multiple points of the bridge at the same time, reduce the error and uncertainty caused by single point measurement, and provide more comprehensive and accurate bridge deformation information.

[0039] 2. Reduce maintenance cost, early detection of bridge diseases and damage, targeted maintenance and repair, avoid high cost caused by large-scale repair or reconstruction.

[0040] 3. Ensure smooth traffic, by timely understanding the safety condition of the bridge, reasonable arrangement of traffic control and maintenance time can reduce the interference and congestion caused by bridge maintenance to traffic.

[0041] 4. Promote the development of bridge engineering technology and the progress of bridge monitoring technology, and provide important technical means and data support for the research and innovation in the field of bridge engineering.
